2. Overview

The E-Ray module is a FlexRay IP-module that can be integrated as stand-alone device or as part of an ASIC. It is described in VHDL on RTL level, prepared for synthesis. The E-Ray IP-module performs communication according to the FlexRay protocol specification v2.0. The bitrate can be programmed to values up to 10 MBit/s. For connection to the physical layer additional Bus Guardian (BG) and Bus Driver (BD) hardware is required.

For communication on a FlexRay network, individual message buffers with up to 254 data bytes are configured. The message storage consists of a single-ported Message RAM that holds up to 64 message buffers. All functions concerning the handling of messages are implemented in the Message Handler. Those functions are the acceptance filtering, the transfer of messages between the two FlexRay Protocol Controllers and the Message RAM, maintaining the transmission schedule as well as providing message status information.

The register set of the E-Ray IP-module can be accessed directly by an external CPU via the modules Host interface. These registers are used to control/configure/monitor the FlexRay Protocol Controllers, Message Handler, Global Timing Unit, System Universal Control, Frame and Symbol Processing, Network Management, Interrupt Control, and to access the Message RAM via Input/Output Buffer.

The E-Ray IP-module can be connected to a wide range of customer-specific Host CPUs via its 8/16/32-bit Generic CPU Interface.

3. Generic Interface

The Generic Interface encapsulates the synthesizable code of the E-Ray design (E-Ray Core). All customer specific components like Customer CPU Interfaces and RAM blocks are connected to the Generic Interface. FIG. 2 shows the connection of the E-Ray Core to the external world via its Generic Interface.

FIG. 2: Generic Interface of E-Ray Core

The Generic Interface consists of Generic CPU Interface, interfaces to the embedded RAM blocks, and the Physical Layer Interface.

3.1 Generic CPU Interface

The Generic CPU Interface connects the E-Ray module to a customer specific Host CPU via the Customer CPU Interface. The Generic CPU Interface was designed for connection to a wide range of customer-specific CPUs. It supports 8/16/32 bit accesses and has the following ports:

TABLE 1 Generic Host interface Signal Type Description eray_sclk I Sample Clock, 80 MHz eray_bclk I Bus Clock, >40 MHz eray_reset I Module Reset eray_select I Module Select eray_addr[10:0] I Address Input eray_byten[3:0] I Byte Enable eray_write I Write/Read Control: ‘1’ = write, ‘0’ = read eray_wdata[31:0] I Write Data Input eray_stpwt I Stop Watch Trigger Input eray_wrdy O Write Ready Output eray_rrdy O Read Ready Output eray_rdata[31:0] O Read Data Output eray_int0 O Interrupt Line 0 to CPU eray_int1 O Interrupt Line 1 to CPU eray_tint0 O Timer Interrupt 0 Output eray_tint1 O Timer Interrupt 1 Output eray_ibusy O Transfer Input Buffer RAM to Message RAM busy eray_obusy O Transfer Message RAM to Output Buffer RAM busy

3.1.1 Host Access Via Generic Interface

FIG. 3: Write Access to E-Ray Registers and Input/Output Buffer RAM

A write access to a register takes one clock cycle. A write access to a RAM address takes two clock cycles.

FIG. 4: Read Access to E-Ray Registers and Input/Output Buffer RAM

Because of the synchronous RAM a read access from the internally RAM blocks takes two clock cycles, while data from registers are valid within one clock cycle. Signal eray_byten[4] is ignored at a read access.

FIG. 5: Data Transfer from Input Buffer RAM to Message RAM and Message RAM to Output Buffer RAM

A data transfer from Input Buffer to the Message RAM (or from Message RAM to Output Buffer) is initiated by a write access to the respective Command Request register (IBCR/OBCR). The delay time until the respective busy signal (eray_ibusy or eray_obusy) is reset depends on the payload length of the message and the actual state of the Message Handler.

3.2 Physical Layer Interface

The Physical Layer Interface connects the E-Ray module to Bus Guardian (BG) and Bus Driver (BD):

TABLE 2 Physical layer interface Signal Type Description eray_arm O Bus Guardian ARM signal, indicates the start of the communication cycle to the BG. eray_bgt O Bus Guardian Tick, derived from the eray_sclk by means of a frequency divider, used by the MT watchdog of the BG. eray_mt O Bus Guardian Macrotick, the MT signal is an accurate representation of the CC's internal corrected macrotick clock.

3.3.5 Read/Write Access to Embedded RAM Blocks

4. Programmer's Model 4.1 Register Map

The E-Ray module allocates an address space of 2 Kbytes (0x0000 to 0x07FF). The registers are organized as 32-bit registers. 8/16-bit accesses are also supported. Host access to the Message RAM is done via the Input and Output Buffers. They buffer data to be transferred to and from the Message RAM under control of the Message Handler, avoiding conflicts between Host accesses and message reception/transmission.

Addresses 0x0000 to 0x000F are reserved for customer specific purposes. All functions related to these addresses are located in the Customer CPU Interface. The test registers located on address 0x0010 and 0x0014 are only writeable under the conditions described in 4.3 Special Registers.

The assignment of the message buffers is done according to the scheme shown in table 10 below. The number N of available message buffers depends on the payload length of the configured message buffers and may vary from 16 (254 data bytes) to a maximum of 64 (56 data bytes) message buffers.

The message buffers are separated into three consecutive groups:

-   -   Static Buffers—Transmit/Receive Buffers for the static segment     -   Dynamic Buffers—Transmit/Receive Buffers for the dynamic segment     -   FIFO Buffers—Receive FIFO

The message buffer separation configuration can be changed in CONFIG state only by programming the Message RAM Configuration register. The set of message buffers assigned to the static segment starts at message buffer 0 and ends before the first message buffer assigned to the dynamic segment.

The message buffer that holds the key slot ID configured by SFID[9:0] in the Message Handler Configuration Register 2 is dedicated to hold the Startup/Sync frame if the node is a Startup/Sync node (configured by TXST and TXSY in the SUC Configuration Register 1) or the single slot frame.

The set of message buffers assigned to the dynamic segment starts after the last static buffer and ends before the FIFO buffer. All message buffers that are not assigned to the static segment or to the dynamic segment are concatenated into a single FIFO buffer. The FIFO buffer starts after the last dynamic buffer. There will be no FIFO buffer if all available message buffers are assigned to the static segment and/or to the dynamic segment.

4.2 Customer Registers

The address space from 0x0000 to 0x000F is reserved for customer-specific registers. These registers, if implemented, are located in the Customer CPU Interface block. A description can be found in the specific Customer CPU Interface specification document.

4.3 Special Registers

4.3.1 Test Register 1 (TEST1)

The Test Register 1 holds the control bits to configure the test modes of the E-Ray module. Write access to this register is only possible if the WRTEN bit is set.

WRTEN Write Test Register Enable

-   -   Enables write access to the test registers. To set the bit from         ‘0’ to ‘1’ the test mode key has to be written as defined in         section 4.3.3 Lock Register (LCK). The unlock sequence is not         required when WRTEN is kept at ‘1’ while other bits of the         register are changed. The bit can be reset to ‘0’ at any time.     -   1=Write access to the Test Register is enabled     -   0=Write access to the Test Register is disabled

TMC[2:0] Test Mode Control

-   -   000=Normal operation mode, default     -   001=RAM Test mode—All RAM blocks of the E-Ray module are         directly accessible by the Host CPU. This mode is intended to         enable testing of the embedded RAM blocks during production         testing.     -   010=Loop Back mode—In Loop Back mode, the E-Ray module works in         Asynchronous Transmit mode and treats its own transmitted         messages as received messages and stores them (if they pass         acceptance filtering) into the first matching Receive Buffer.     -   011=I/O Test mode—The output pins eray_txd1, eray_txd2,         eray_txen1_n, eray_txen2_n, eray_arm, eray_bgt, eray_mt are         driven to the values defined by bits TXA, TXB, TXENA, TXENB,         ARM, BGT, MT. The values applied to the input pins eray_rxd1,         eray_rxd2, eray_bge1, eray_bge2 can be read from register bits         RXA, RXB, BGEA, BGEB     -   100 . . . 111=unused—mapped to normal operation mode.

The following Test Register 1 bits are used to test the interface to the physical layer (connectivity test) by driving/reading the respective pins.

RXA Monitor Channel A Receive Pin

-   -   0=eray_rxd1=‘0’     -   1=eray_rxd1=‘1’

RXB Monitor Channel B Receive Pin

-   -   0=eray_rxd2=‘0’     -   1=eray_rxd2=‘1’

TXA Control of Channel A Transmit Pin

-   -   0 eray_txd1 pin drives a ‘0’     -   1=eray_txd1 pin drives a ‘1’

TXB Control of Channel B Transmit Pin

-   -   0=eray_txd2 pin drives a ‘0’     -   1=eray_txd2 pin drives a ‘1’

TXENA Control of Channel A Transmit Enable Pin

-   -   0=eray_txen1_n pin drives a ‘0’     -   1=eray_txen1_n pin drives a ‘1’

TXENB Control of Channel B Transmit Enable Pin

-   -   0=eray_txen2_n pin drives a ‘0’     -   1=eray_txen2_n pin drives a ‘1’

BGEA Monitor Channel A Bus Guardian Enable Pin

-   -   0=eray_bge1=‘0’     -   1=eray_bge1=‘1’

BGEB Monitor Channel B Bus Guardian Enable Pin

-   -   0=eray_bge2=‘0’     -   1=eray_bge2=‘1’

ARM Control of Bus Guardian ARM Pin

-   -   0=eray_arm pin drives a ‘0’     -   1=eray_arm pin drives a ‘1’

BGT Control of Bus Guardian Tick Pin

-   -   0=eray_bgt pin drives a ‘0’     -   1=eray_bgt pin drives a ‘1’

MT Control of Bus Guardian Macrotick Pin

-   -   0=eray_mt pin drives a ‘0’     -   1=eray_mt pin drives a ‘1’

Asynchronous Transmit Mode (ATM)

The Asynchronous Transmit mode state is entered by writing “110” to the CHI Command Vector CMD[3:0] in the SUC Configuration Register 1 (CHI command: ATM) while the CC is in CONFIG state and bit WRTEN in the Test Register 1 is set to ‘1’. When called in any other state or when bit WRTEN is not set, CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

Asynchronous Transmit mode can be left by writing “0001” (CHI command: CONFIG) to the CHI Command Vector CMD[3:0] in the SUC Configuration Register 1. POCS[15:0] in the CC Status and Error Vector will show “00 1000” while the E-Ray module is in ATM mode.

In ATM mode transmission of a FlexRay frame is triggered by writing the number of the respective message buffer to the Input Buffer Command Request register while bit STXR in the Input Buffer Command Mask register is set to ‘1’. In this mode wakeup, startup, and clock synchronization are bypassed.

Loop Back Mode

The Loop Back mode state is entered by writing “1101” to the CHI Command Vector CMD[3:0] in the SUC Configuration Register 1 (CHI command: LOOP_BACK) while the CC is in CONFIG state and bit WRTEN in the Test Register 1 is set to ‘1’. When called in any other state or when bit WRTEN is not set, CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

Loop Back mode can be left by writing “0001” (CHI command: CONFIG) to the CHI Command Vector CMD[3:0] in the SUC Configuration Register 1. POCS[5:0] in the CC Status and Error Vector will show “00 1001” while the E-Ray module is in Loop Back mode.

>>>DESCRIPTION OF LOOP BACK MODE <<<

4.3.2 Test Register 2 (TEST2)

The Test Register 2 holds all bits required for RAM test of the embedded RAM blocks of the E-Ray-module. Write access to this register is only possible when bit WRTEN in the Test Register 1 is set.

RS[2:0] RAM Select

-   -   In RAM Test mode the RAM blocks selected by RS[2:0] are mapped         to module address 0x400 to 7FF (1024 byte addresses).     -   000=Input Buffer RAM 1     -   001=Input Buffer RAM 2     -   010=Output Buffer RAM 1     -   011=Output Buffer RAM 2     -   100=Transient Buffer RAM A     -   101=Transient Buffer RAM B     -   110=Message RAM     -   111=unused

SSEL[2:0] Segment Select

-   -   To enable access to the complete Message RAM (4608 byte         addresses) the Message RAM is segmented.     -   000=access to RAM bytes 0000h to 03FFh enabled     -   001=access to RAM bytes 0400h to 07FFh enabled     -   010=access to RAM bytes 0800h to 0BFFh enabled     -   011=access to RAM bytes 0C00h to 0FFFh enabled     -   100=access to RAM bytes 1000h to 11FFh enabled     -   101 . . . 111=unused

WRPB Write Parity Bit

-   -   Value of parity bit to be written to the selected RAM location

RDPB Read Parity Bit

-   -   Value of parity bit read from the selected RAM location.

4.3.2.1 RAM Test Mode

In RAM Test mode (TMC[2:0]=“001”), one of the seven RAM blocks can be selected for direct RD/WR access by programming RS[2:0] to the respective value.

000: IBF1=Input Buffer RAM 001: IBF2=Input Buffer Shadow RAM 010: OBF1=Output Buffer RAM 011: OBF2=Output-Buffer Shadow RAM 100: TBF1=Transient Buffer RAM A 101: TBF2=Transient Buffer RAM B 110: MBF=Message RAM

For external access the selected RAM block is mapped to address space 400h to 7FF (1024 byte addresses or 256 word addresses).

Because the length of the Message RAM exceeds the available address space, the Message RAM is segmented into segments of 1024 bytes. The segments can be selected by programming SSEL[2:0] in the Test Register 2.

FIG. 7: Test Mode Access to E-Ray RAM Blocks

4.3.3 Lock Register (LCK)

The Lock Register is write-only. Reading the register will return 0x0000.

CLK[7:0] Configuration Lock Key

-   -   To leave CONFIG state by writing to CMD[3:0] in the SUC         Configuration Register 1, the write operation has to be directly         preceded by two consecutive write accesses to the Configuration         Lock Key. If this write sequence is interrupted by read accesses         or write accesses to other locations, the CC remains in CONFIG         state and the sequence has to be repeated.     -   First write: 0xCE=0b1100 1110     -   Second write: 0x31=0b0011 0001

TMK[7:0] Test Mode Key

-   -   To write bit WRTEN in the Test Register to ‘1’, the write         operation has to be directly preceded by two consecutive write         accesses to the Test Mode Key. If this write sequence is         interrupted by read accesses or write accesses to other         locations, bit WRTEN is not set to ‘1’ and the sequence has to         be repeated.     -   First write: 0x75=0b0111 0101     -   Second write: 0x8A=0b1000 1010

4.4 Interrupt Registers

4.4.1 Error Interrupt Register (EIR)

The flags are set when the CC detects one of the listed error conditions. They remain set until the Host clears them. A flag is cleared by writing a ‘1’ to the corresponding bit position. Writing a ‘0’ has no effect on the flag. A hard reset will also clear the register.

4.4.7 Interrupt Line Enable (ILE)

Each of the two interrupt lines to the Host CPU (eray_int0, eray_int1) can be enable/disabled separately by programming bit EINT0 and EINT1.

EINT0 Enable Interrupt Line 0

-   -   1=Interrupt line eray_int0 enabled     -   0=Interrupt line eray_int0 disabled

EINT1 Enable Interrupt Line 1

-   -   1=Interrupt line eray_int1 enabled     -   0=Interrupt line eray_int1 disabled

4.4.8 Timer 0 Configuration (T0C)

Absolute timer. Specifies in terms of cycle count and macrotick the point in time when the timer 0 interrupt occurs. When the timer 0 interrupt is asserted output signal eray_tint0 is set to ‘1’ for the duration of one macrotick.

Timer 0 can be activated as long as the POC is either in NORMAL_ACTIVE state or in NORMAL_PASSIVE state. Timer 0 is deactivated when leaving NORMAL_ACTIVE state or NORMAL_PASSIVE state except for transitions between the two states.

Before reconfiguration of the timer, the timer has to be halted first by writing bit T0RC to ‘0’.

T0RC Timer 0 Run Control

-   -   1=Timer 0 running     -   0=Timer 0 halted

T0MS Timer 0 Mode Select

-   -   1=Continuous mode     -   0=Single-shot mode

T0CC[6:0] Timer 0 Cycle Code

-   -   The 7-bit timer 0 cycle code determines the cycle set used for         generation of the timer 0 interrupt.     -   For details about the configuration of the cycle code see 5.7.4         Cycle Counter Filtering.

T0MO[13:0] Timer 0 Macrotick Offset

-   -   Configures the macrotick offset from the beginning of the cycle         where the interrupt is to occur.     -   The Timer 0 Interrupt occurs at this offset for each cycle in         the cycle set.

4.4.9 Timer 1 Configuration (T1C)

Relative timer. After the specified number of macroticks has expired, the timer 1 interrupt is asserted by setting output signal eray_tint1 to ‘1’ for the duration of one macrotick.

Timer 1 can be activated as long as the POC is either in NORMAL_ACTIVE state or in NORMAL_PASSIVE state. Timer 1 is deactivated when leaving NORMAL_ACTIVE state or NORMAL_PASSIVE state except for transitions between the two states.

Before reconfiguration of the timer, the timer has to be halted first by writing bit T1RC to ‘0’.

T1RC Timer 1 Run Control

-   -   1=Timer 1 running     -   0=Timer 1 halted

T1MS Timer 1 Mode Select

-   -   1=Continuous mode     -   0=Single-shot mode

T1MC[13:0] Timer 1 Macrotick Count

-   -   When the configured macrotick count is reached the timer 1         interrupt is generated.     -   Valid values are 2 to 16,383 MT.

4.4.10 Stop Watch Register (STPW)

A stop watch event can be generated by a rising or falling edge on pin eray_stpwt or by the Host by writing bit SWT to ‘1’. At a stop watch event the actual cycle counter and macrotick value are stored in the Stop Watch register and can be read out by the Host.

ESW Enable Stop Watch

-   -   In single-shot mode this bit is reset after the stop watch event         occurred.     -   1=Stop watch enabled     -   0=Stop watch disabled

SWMS Stop Watch Mode Select

-   -   1=Continuous mode     -   0=Single-shot mode

EDGE Stop Watch Trigger Edge Select

-   -   1=Rising edge     -   0=Falling edge

SWT Software Trigger

-   -   When the Host writes this bit to ‘1’ a stop watch event is         generated. To generate the next stop watch event, the Host has         to write the bit to ‘1’ again. The bit is only writeable while         ESW=‘0’.     -   1=Stop watch event generated     -   0=no stop watch event generated

SCCV[5:0] Stopped Cycle Counter Value

-   -   State of the cycle counter when the stop watch event occurred.         Valid values are 0 to 63.

SMTV[13:0] Stopped Macrotick Value

-   -   State of the macrotick counter when the stop watch event         occurred. Valid values are 0 to 16,000.         Note: Bits ESW and SWT cannot be set to ‘1’ simultaneously. In         this case the write access is ignored, and both bits keep their         previous values.

4.5 CC Control Registers

This section enumerates the registers supplied by the CC to allow the Host to control the operation of the CC. Most of the configuration data cannot be changed by the Host when the CC is not in CONFIG state. The configuration data is reset when CONFIG state is entered from hardware reset or when CONFIG state is entered from HALT state. If the Host wants the CC to leave CONFIG state, the Host has to proceed as described in section 4.3.3 Lock Register (LCK).

All bits marked with an asterisk * can be updated in CONFIG state only!

4.5.1 SUC Configuration Register 1 (SUCC1)

CMD[3:0] CHI Command Vector

-   -   The Host may write any CHI command at any time, but certain         commands are enabled only in certain states. If a command is not         enabled, it will not be executed and the CHI command vector         CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid. The reserved         CHI commands belong to the hardware test functions and are not         enabled in normal mode.     -   0000=command_not_valid     -   0001=CONFIG.     -   0010=READY     -   0011=WAKEUP     -   0100=RUN     -   0101=ALL_SLOTS     -   0110=HALT     -   0111=FREEZE     -   1000=SEND_MTS     -   1001=ALLOW_COLDSTART     -   1010=RESET_STATUS_INDICATORS     -   1011=MONITOR_MODE     -   1100=reserved     -   1101=reserved     -   1110=reserved     -   1111=reserved     -   The CHI commands will trigger the following actions:     -   command_not_valid     -   No function in any state. When CMD[3:0] is reset to “0000” due         to an illegal command, bit CNV in the Error Interrupt register         is set, and if enabled an interrupt is generated.

CONFIG

Goto state CONFIG when called in states MONITOR or READY. When called in HALT state the command has to be preceeded by command RESET_STATUS_INDICATORS to reset status flag DCREQ located in the CC Status and Error Vector register, otherwise state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid. When called in any other state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

READY

Goto state READY when called in states CONFIG, NORMAL_ACTIVE, NORMAL_PASSIVE, STARTUP, or WAKEUP. When called in any other state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

WAKEUP

Goto state WAKEUP when called in state READY. If bit SWU is set to ‘1’ the CC transits to WAKEUP_SEND state and sends the wakeup pattern. When called in any other state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

RUN

Goto state STARTUP when called in state READY. When called in any other state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

ALL_SLOTS

Leave single slot mode after successful startup/integration at the next end_of_cycle when called in state NORMAL_ACTIVE or NORMAL_PASSIVE. When called in any other state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

HALT

Goto state HALT at the next end_of_cycle when called in state NORMAL_ACTIVE or NORMAL_PASSIVE. When called in any other state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

FREEZE

Goto state HALT and set the Freeze Status Indicator FSI bit in the CC Status and Error Vector register.

SEND_MTS

Send single MTS symbol during the symbol window of the following cycle on the channel configured by MTSA, MTSB.

ALLOW_COLDSTART

Reset CSI bit to enable coldstart of the node.

RESET_STATUS_INDICATORS

Reset status flags CSNI, CSAI, SMRI, and DCREQ located in the CC Status and Error Vector Register.

MONITOR_MODE

Goto state MONITOR_MODE when called in state CONFIG. In this state the CC is able to receive FlexRay frames and CAS/MTS symbols. It is also able to detect coding errors. The temporal integrity of received frames is not checked. This state can be used for debugging purposes in case that the Startup of a FlexRay network fails. When called in any other state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid.

-   -   Note: In MONITOR_MODE state the pick first valid mechanism is         disabled. This means that a receive message buffer may only be         configured to receive on one channel.         -   When applying a state change command while the CC is already             in the requested state, this will not reset CMD[3:0] to             “command_not_valid”.             TXST Transmit Startup Frame in Key Slot             (pKeySlotUsedForStartup)     -   Defines whether the key slot is used to transmit a Startup         frame.     -   1=Key slot used to transmit Startup frame     -   0=No Startup frame transmitted in key slot         TXSY Transmit Sync Frame in Key Slot (pKeySlotUsedForSync)     -   Defines whether the key slot is used to transmit a Sync frame.     -   1=Key slot used to transmit Sync frame     -   0=No Sync frame transmitted in key slot         CSI Cold Start Inhibit (vColdStartlnhibit)     -   The bit disables a Coldstart node from initiating the coldstart.         Bit CSI can only be set in CONFIG state. CSI can be reset by         writing “1001” to CMD[3:0] at any time.     -   1 Cold starting of node disabled     -   0=Cold starting of node enabled         CSA[4:0] Cold Start Attempts (gColdStartAttempts)     -   Configures the maximum number of attempts that a cold starting         node is permitted to try to start up the network without         receiving any valid response from another node. It can be         modified in CONFIG state only. Must be identical in all nodes of         a cluster. Valid values are 2 to 31.         PTA[4:0] Passive to Active (pAllowpassiveToActive)     -   Defines the number of consecutive even/odd cycle pairs that must         have valid clock correction terms before the CC is allowed to         transit from NORMAL_PASSIVE to NORMAL_ACTIVE state. If set to         “00000” the CC is not allowed to transit from NORMAL_PASSIVE to         NORMAL_ACTIVE state. It can be modified in CONFIG state only.         Valid values are 0 to 31 even/odd cycle pairs.         WUCS Wakeup Channel Select (pWakeupChannel)     -   With this bit the Host selects the channel on which the CC sends         the Wakeup pattern. The CC ignores any attempt to change the         status of this bit when not in CONFIG state.     -   1=Send wakeup pattern on channel B1     -   0=Send wakeup pattern on channel A         TSM Transmission Slot Mode (pSingleSlotEnabled)     -   The selected transmission slot mode is entered after completion         of Startup. In SINGLE slot mode the CC may only transmit in the         pre-configured key slot. This slot is defined by the Sync Frame         ID SFID[10:0] located in the MHD Configuration Register 2. In         ALL slot mode the CC may transmit in all slots. The bit can be         set in CONFIG state only. The bit is reset when the Host         successfully applied the ALL_SLOTS command by writing         CMD[3:0]=“0101”.     -   1=SINGLE Slot Mode     -   0=ALL Slot Mode         HCSE Halt due to Clock Sync Error (pAllowHaltDueToClock)     -   Controls reaction of the CC to a clock synchronization error.         The bit can be modified in CONFIG state only.     -   1=CC will enter HALT state     -   0=CC will enter/remain in NORMAL_PASSIVE

CF Cycle Filtering

-   -   When this bit is set by the Host, the CC applies the configured         cycle counter filtering for all Transmit, Receive, and FIFO         buffers. The CC ignores any attempt to change the status of this         bit when not in CONFIG state. It should be configured         identically in all nodes of a cluster.     -   1=Cycle counter filtering enabled     -   0=Cycle counter filtering disabled

MTSA Select Channel A for MTS Transmission

-   -   The bit selects channel A for MTS symbol transmission if         requested by writing “1010” to CMD[3:0]. The flag is reset by         default and may be modified only in CONFIG state.     -   1=Channel A selected for MTS transmission     -   0=Channel A not selected for MTS transmission

MTSB Select Channel B for MTS Transmission

-   -   The bit selects channel B for WTS symbol transmission if         requested by writing “1010” to CMD[3:0]. The flag is reset by         default and may be modified only in CONFIG state.     -   1=Channel B selected for MTS transmission     -   0=Channel B not selected for MTS transmission         CCHA Connected to Channel A (pChannels)     -   Configures whether the node is connected to channel A.     -   1=Node connected to channel A     -   0=Not connected to channel A         CCHB Connected to Channel B (pChannels)     -   Configures whether the node is connected to channel B.     -   1=Node connected to channel B     -   0=Not connected to channel B

4.7 Message Buffer Control Registers

4.7.1 Message RAM Configuration (MRC)

The Message RAM Configuration register defines the number of message buffers assigned to the static segment, dynamic segment, and Receive FIFO. In addition the data length for all message buffers belonging to the Receive FIFO is configured here. The register can be written during CONFIG state only.

FDB[6:0] First Dynamic Buffer

-   -   Valid values are 0 to 64.     -   0=No static buffers configured     -   >63=No dynamic Buffers configured

FFB[6:0] First FIFO Buffer

-   -   Valid values are 0 to 64.     -   0=No static and dynamic buffers configured     -   >63=No FIFO Buffers configured

 Dynamic Buffers

 FFB . . .

 FIFO Buffers

 LCB Message Buffer N − 1 Message Buffer N

DLF[6:0] Data Length FIFO Buffer

-   -   Configures the payload length for all message buffers assigned         to the FIFO.     -   Valid values are 0 to 127.         Note: The maximum number of available message buffers depends on         the configured number of data bytes per message buffer (Example:         16 MBs with 254 bytes, 32 MBs with 128 bytes, 64 MBs with 56         bytes or less). The programmer has to ensure that the         configuration defined by FDB[6:0], FFB[6:0], and LCB[5:0] is         possible. The CC does not check for erroneous configurations!

4.7.2 FIFO Rejection Filter (FRF)

The FIFO Rejection Filter defines a user specified sequence of bits with which channel, frame ID, and cycle count of the incoming message are compared. Together with the FIFO Rejection Filter Mask this register determines whether the message is rejected by the FIFO. The FRF register can be written during CONFIG state only.

CH[1:0] Channel Filter

-   -   11=no reception     -   10=receive only on channel A     -   01=receive only on channel B     -   00=receive on both channels (pick first valid)

FID[10:0] Frame ID Filter

CYF[6:0] Cycle Code Filter

-   -   The 7-bit cycle code filter determines the cycle set used for         rejection filtering. For details about the configuration of the         cycle code see 5.7.4 Cycle Counter Filtering.

RSS Reject Static Segment

-   -   In time-triggered applications the FIFO Buffer should only be         used in dynamic segment.     -   1=Reject messages in static segment     -   0=FIFO also used in static segment

4.7.3 FIFO Rejection Filter Mask (FRFM)

The FIFO Rejection Filter Mask specifies which of the corresponding FRF bits are relevant for rejection filtering. If a bit is set, it indicates that the state of the corresponding bit in the FRF register will not affect whether or not the message is rejected by the FIFO. A message will be rejected by the FIFO if all unmasked bits of the FRF registers match. The FRFM register can be written during CONFIG state only.

MFID[11:0] FIFO Rejection Filter Mask Bits

-   -   1=Ignore corresponding FIFO Rejection Filter bit.     -   0=Match corresponding FIFO Rejection Filter bit.

4.8 Message Buffer Status Registers

4.8.1 Transmission Request Registers 1/2 (TXRQ1/2)

TXR[63:0] Transmission Request

-   -   If the flag is set, the respective message buffer is ready for         transmission respectively transmission of this message buffer is         in progress. The flags are reset after transmission has         completed (single-shot mode only).

4.8.2 New Data Registers 1/2 (NDAT1/2)

The two registers reflect the state of the ND flags of all configured message buffers. If the number of configured message buffers is less than 64, the remaining ND flags have no meaning and are read as ‘0’.

ND[63:0]; New Data

The flags are set when the Message Handler stores a valid received message into the respective message buffer. The flags are reset when the message buffer has been transferred to the Output Buffer.

4.8.3 Message Handler Status (MHDS)

The Message Handler Status register gives the Host CPU access to the actual state of the Message Handler.

The following flags have to be explicitly reset by the Host CPU:

PIBF Parity Error Input Buffer RAM 1,2

-   -   Parity error occurred when Message Handler read Input Buffer RAM         1,2

POBF Parity Error Output Buffer RAM 1,2

The header sections of message buffers belonging to the static segment or to the FIFO can only be changed when the CC is in CONFIG state.

The data transfer between Input Buffer (IBF) and Message RAM is described in detail in section 5.11.1.1 Data Transfer Input Buffer->Message RAM.

4.9.1 Write Data Section [1 . . . 64] (WRDSn)

Holds the data words to be transferred to the data section of the addressed message buffer. The data words are written to the Message RAM in transmission order from DW1 (byte0, byte 1) to DW_(PL) (DW_(PL)=number of data words as defined by the payload length).

Message buffers with frame ID=‘0’ are considered as not valid.         Once the buffer is ready for transmission (TXR=‘1’) the frame ID         bits cannot be written until after the buffer has been         transmitted (TXR=‘0’). Only frame IDs greater than the maximum         static slot number (dynamic buffers) can be changed during         runtime. Frame IDs for static slots may only be written in         CONFIG state.

CYC[6:0] Cycle Code

4.9.5 Input Buffer Command Request (IBCR)

When the Host writes the number of a target message buffer in the Message RAM to IBRH[5:0] in the Input Buffer Command Request register, IBF and IBF Shadow are swapped. In addition the message buffer numbers stored under IBRH[5:0] and IBRS[5:0] are also swapped (see also 5.11.1.1 Data Transfer Input Buffer->Message RAM).

With this write operation the IBSYS bit in the Input Buffer Command Request register is set to ‘1’. The Message Handler then starts to transfer the contents of IBF Shadow to the message buffer in the Message RAM selected by IBRS[5:0].

While the Message Handler transfers the data from IBF Shadow to the target message buffer in the Message RAM, the Host may configure the next message in the IBF. After the transfer between IBF Shadow and the Message RAM has completed, the IBSYS bit is set back to ‘0’ and the next transfer to the Message RAM may be started by the Host by writing the respective target message buffer number to IBRH[5:0].

If a write access to IBRH[5:0] occurs while IBSYS is ‘1’, IBSYH is set to ‘1’. After completion of the ongoing data transfer from IBF Shadow to the Message RAM, IBF and IBF Shadow are swapped, IBSYH is reset to ‘0’. IBSYS remains set to ‘1’, and the next transfer to the Message RAM is started. In addition the message buffer numbers stored under IBRH[5:0] and IBRS[5:0] are also swapped.

IBRH[5:0] Input Buffer Request Host

4.9.6 Input Buffer Command Mask (IBCM)

Configures how the message buffer in the Message RAM selected by the Input Buffer Command Request register is updated. When IBF and IBF Shadow are swapped, bits LHSH, LDSH, and STXRH are swapped with bits LHSS, LDSS, and STXRS to keep them attached to the respective message buffer number from the Input Buffer Command Request register.

4.10.6 Output Buffer Command Request (OBCR)

The message buffer selected by OBRS[5:0] in the Output Buffer Command Request register is transferred from the Message RAM to the Output Buffer as soon as the Host has set REQ to ‘1’. Bit REQ can only be set to ‘1’ while OBSYS is ‘0’ (see also 5.11.1.2 Data Transfer Message RAM->Output Buffer).

After setting REQ to ‘1’, OBSYS is set to ‘1’, and the transfer of the message buffer selected by OBRS[5:0] from the Message RAM to OBF Shadow is started. After the transfer between the Message RAM and OBF Shadow has completed, the OBSYS bit is set back to ‘0’.

By setting the VIEW bit to ‘1’ while OBSYS is ‘0’, OBF and OBF Shadow are swapped. Now the Host can read the transferred message buffer from OBF while the Message Handler may transfer the next message from the Message RAM to OBF Shadow.

OBRS[5:0] Output Buffer Request Shadow

-   -   Number of source message buffer to be transferred from the         Message RAM to OBF Shadow. Valid values are 0x0000 to 0x003F (0         . . . 63). If the number of the first message buffer of the         Receive FIFO is written to this register the Message Handler         transfers the FIFO Buffer addressed by the GET Index Register         (GIDX) to OBF Shadow.

VIEW View Shadow Buffer

-   -   Toggles between OBF Shadow and OBF.     -   Only writeable while OBSYS=‘0’.     -   1=Swap OBF Shadow and OBF     -   0=No action

REQ Request Message RAM Transfer

-   -   Requests transfer of message buffer addressed by OBRS[5:0] from         Message RAM to OBF Shadow. Only writeable while OBSYS=‘0’.     -   1=Transfer to OBF Shadow requested     -   0=No request

OBSYS Output Buffer Shadow Busy

-   -   Set to ‘1’ after setting bit REQ. When the transfer between the         Message RAM and OBF Shadow has completed, OBSYS is set back to         ‘0’.     -   1=Transfer between Message RAM and OBF Shadow in progress     -   0=No transfer in progress

OBRH[5:0] Output Buffer Request Host

-   -   Number of transferred message buffer stored in OBF. By writing         VIEW to ‘1’ OBF Shadow and OBF are swapped and the transferred         message buffer is accessible by the Host. Valid values are         0x0000 to 0x003F (0 . . . 63).

4.10.7 Output Buffer Command Mask (OBCM)

Configures how the header section of the Output Buffer is updated from the selected message buffer in the Message RAM.

RHSS Read Header Section Shadow

-   -   1=Header section selected for transfer from Message RAM to         Output Buffer     -   0=Header section is not read

RDSS Read Data Section Shadow

-   -   1=Data section selected for transfer from Message RAM to Output         Buffer     -   0=Data section is not read

RHSH Read Header Section Host

-   -   1=Header section selected for transfer from Message RAM to         Output Buffer     -   0=Header section is not read

RDSH Read Data Section Host

-   -   1=Data section selected for transfer from Message RAM to Output         Buffer     -   0=Data section is not read         Note: After the transfer from the Message RAM to the Output         Buffer has completed, the New Data flag ND of the selected         message buffer in the New Data Register is cleared.

5. Functional Description 5.1 Communication Cycle

FIG. 8: Structure of Communication Cycle

A communication cycle in FlexRay consists of the following elements:

-   -   Static Segment     -   Dynamic Segment     -   Symbol Window     -   Network Idle Time (NIT)

Static Segment, Dynamic Segment, and Symbol Window form the Network Communication Time (NCT). For each communication channel the slot counter starts at 1 and counts up until the ‘Start of Latest Transmit’ as configured in the MHD Configuration Register 1 is reached. Both channels share the same arbitration grid which means that they use the same synchronized macrotick.

5.1.1 Static Segment

The Static Segment is characterized by the following features:

-   -   slots protected by bus guardian     -   start of frame transmission at action point of the respective         static slot     -   ends with static slot idle phase of last static slot     -   payload length same for all frames (on both channels)         Parameters: number of static slots, duration of static slot,         static slot action point offset

5.1.2 Dynamic Segment

The Dynamic Segment is characterized by the following features:

-   -   bus guardian disabled, all controllers have bus access     -   variable duration of slots, different for both channels     -   channel activity stops slot counting     -   start of transmission at minislot action point     -   end of transmission at action point of last minislot

-   Parameters: number of minislots, duration of minislot, minislot     action point offset, last minislot to start transmission

5.1.3 Symbol Window

The Symbol Window is characterized by the following features:

-   -   send single symbol     -   the FlexRay Protocol Specification v2.0 defines three symbols:         -   Wake-up Symbol (WUS), sent in WAKEUP state only         -   Collision Avoidance Symbol (CAS), sent in STARTUP state only         -   Media Access Test Symbol (MTS), sent in NORMAL_ACTIVE state             to test the Bus Guardian     -   arbitration not provided (higher-level protocol)     -   transmit phase+symbol window idle phase         Parameters: end of dynamic segment, start of network idle time

5.1.4. Network Idle Time (NIT)

During Network Idle Time the Communication Controller has to perform the following tasks:

-   -   calculate clock correction terms     -   apply offset correction during multiple macroticks     -   perform implementation specific cluster cycle related tasks         Parameters: start of network idle time

5.2 Communication Modes

The FlexRay Protocol Specification v2.0 defines the Time-triggered Distributed (TT-D) mode.

5.2.1 Time-triggered Distributed (TT-D)

In TT-D mode the following configurations are possible:

-   -   pure static: minimum 2 static slots+symbol window (optional)     -   mixed static/dynamic: minimum 2 static slots+Dynamic         Segment+symbol window (optional)

A minimum of two Startup nodes need to be configured for distributed time-triggered operation. Two fault-free Startup nodes are necessary for the cluster startup. Each Startup frame shall be a Sync frame, therefore all Startup nodes are Sync nodes.

5.3 Clock Synchronization

In TT-D mode a distributed clock synchronization is used. Each node individually synchronizes itself to the cluster by observing the timing of transmitted Sync frames from other nodes.

5.3.1 Global Time

In a FlexRay node activities, including communication, are based on the concept of a global time, even though each individual node maintains its own view of it. It is the clock synchronism mechanism that differentiates the FlexRay cluster from other node collections with independent clock mechanisms. The global time is a vector of two values; the cycle (cycle counter) and the cycle time (macrotick counter).

Cluster Specific:

-   -   macrotick (MT)=basic unit of time measurement in a FlexRay         network, macrotick consists of an integer number of microticks         (μT)     -   cycle length=duration of a communication cycle in units of         macroticks (μT)

5.3.2 Local Time

Internally, nodes time their behavior with microtick resolution. Microticks are time units derived from the oscillator clock tick of the specific node. Therefore microticks are controller-specific units. They may have different durations in different controllers. The precision of a node's local time difference measurements is a microtick (μT).

Node Specific:

-   -   oscillator clock->prescaler->microtick (μT)     -   μT=basic unit of time measurement in a CC, clock correction is         done in units of μT's     -   cycle counter+macrotick counter=nodes local view of the global         time

5.3.3 Synchronization Process

Clock synchronization is performed by means of Sync frames. Only preconfigured nodes (Sync nodes) connected to both channels (two-channel cluster) are allowed to send Sync frames.

For synchronization in FlexRay the following constraints have to be considered:

-   -   max. one Sync frame per node in one communication cycle     -   max. 15 Sync frames per network in one communication cycle     -   every node has to use all available Sync frames for clock         synchronization     -   minimum of two Sync nodes required for clock synchronization     -   for fault tolerant clock synchronization a minimum of 3 Sync         nodes is required     -   a synchronization error is a fatal error, that is the controller         has to reintegrate

For clock synchronization the time difference between expected and observed arrival time of Sync frames received during the static segment, valid on both channels (two-channel cluster), is measured. The calculation of correction terms is done during NIT (offset: every cycle, rate: odd cycle) by using a FTA/FTM algorithm.

5.3.3.1 Offset (Phase) Correction

-   -   only deviation values measured and stored in the current cycle         used     -   for a two channel node the smaller value will be taken     -   calculation during NIT of every communication cycle, value may         be negative     -   offset correction value calculated in even cycles used for error         checking only     -   checked against limit values (violation:         NORMAL_ACTIVE->NORMAL_PASSIVE->HALT)     -   correction value is an integer number of μTs     -   correction done in odd numbered cycles, distributed over the         macroticks comprising the NIT to shift nodes next start of cycle         (MTs lengthened/shortened)

5.3.3.2 Rate (Frequency) Correction

-   -   pairs of deviation values measured and stored in even/odd cycle         pair used     -   for a two channel node the average of the differences from the         two channels is used     -   calculated during NIT of odd numbered cycles, value may be         negative     -   cluster drift damping term added (=positive integer)     -   checked against limit values (violation:         NORMAL_ACTIVE->NORMAL_PASSIVE->HALT)     -   correction value is an integer number of μTs     -   distributed over macroticks comprising the next even/odd cycle         pair (MTs lengthened/shortened)

5.3.4 External Clock Synchronization

During normal operation, independent clusters can drift significantly. If synchronous operation is desired across the clusters, external synchronization is necessary; even though the nodes within each luster are synchronized. This can be accomplished with synchronous application of host-deduced rate and offset correction terms to the clusters.

-   -   external offset/rate correction value is a signed integer     -   external offset/rate correction value added to calculated         offset/rate correction value     -   aggregate offset/rate correction term (external+internal)         checked against the configured limits     -   if one of the correction values is outside the limits, the node         is out of synchronization

5.4 Error Handling

The implemented error handling concept is intended to ensure that communication between non-affected nodes can be maintained in the presence of a lower layer protocol error in a single node. In some cases, higher layer program command activity is required for the CC to resume normal operation. A change of the error handling state will set bit PEMC in the Error Interrupt Register and may trigger an interrupt to the Host if enabled. The actual error mode is signalled by ERRM[1:0] in the CC Status and Error Vector register.

TABLE 12 Error modes of the POC (degradation model) Error Mode Activity ACTIVE Full operation (green) The CC is fully synchronized and supports the cluster wide clock synchronization. The host is informed of any error condition(s) or status change by interrupt (if enabled) or by reading the error and status flags from the Error and Status Interrupt Registers. The BG is synchronized with the CC. PASSIVE Reduced operation, CC self rescue allowed. (yellow) The CC stops transmitting frames and symbols, but received frames are still processed. Clock synchronization mechanisms are continued based on received frames. No active contribution to the cluster wide clock synchronization. The host is informed of any error condition(s) or status change by interrupt (if enabled) or by reading the error and status flags from the Error and Status Interrupt Registers. The BG remains synchronized as the CC continues to provide the ARM, MT, and BGT signals. COMM_HALT Operation halted, CC self rescue not allowed. (red) The CC stops frame and symbol processing, clock synchronization processing and the macrotick generation. The host has still access to error and status information by reading the error and status flags from Error and Status Interrupt Registers. The BG will enter FailSilent state due to lack of transmissions of the ARM, MT, or BGT signals. The bus driver is disabled.

5.4.1 Clock Correction Failed Counter

When the Clock Correction Failed Counter reaches the Maximum Without Clock Correction Passive limit defined by WCP[3:0], the POC transits from NORMAL_ACTIVE to NORMAL_PASSIVE state. When it reaches the Maximum Without Clock Correction Fatal limit defined by WCF[3:0], it transits NORMAL_ACTIVE or NORMAL_PASSIVE to the HALT state. Both limits are defined in the NEM Configuration Register.

The Clock Correction Failed Counter CCFC [3:0] allows the Host to monitor the duration of the inability of a node to compute clock correction terms after the CC passed protocol startup phase. It will be incremented by one at the end of any odd numbered communication cycle where either the Missing Offset Correction signal MOCS or the Missing Rate Correction signal MRCS is set. The counter and the two flags are located in the Clock Correction Status 1 register.

The Clock Correction Failed Counter is reset to zero at the end of an odd communication cycle if neither the Missing Offset Correction signal nor the Missing Rate Correction signal are active.

The Clock Correction Failed Counter stops incrementing when the Maximum Without Clock Correction Fatal value WCF[3:0] as defined in NEM Configuration Register is reached (i.e. incrementing the counter at its maximum value will not cause it to “wraparound” back to zero). The Clock Correction Failed Counter will be initialized to zero when the CC performs the transition from CONFIG to READY state.

5.4.2 Passive to Active Counter

The Passive to Active Counter controls the transition of the POC from NORMAL_PASSIVE to NORMAL_ACTIVE state. PTA[4:0] in the SUC Configuration Register 1 defines the number of consecutive even/odd cycle pairs that must have valid clock correction terms before the CC is allowed to transit from NORMAL_PASSIVE to NORMAL_ACTIVE state. If PTA[4:0] is set to zero the CC is not allowed to transit from NORMAL_PASSIVE to NORMAL_ACTIVE state.

5.4.3 HALT Command

In case the Host detects an error condition it can bring the CC into HALT state by asserting the HALT command. This can be done by writing CMD[3:0]=“0110” in the SUC. Configuration Register 1. When called in NORMAL_ACTIVE or NORMAL_PASSIVE state the POC transits to HALT state at the next end_of_cycle. When called in any other state CMD[3:0] will be reset to “0000”=command_not_valid and bit CNV in the Error Interrupt Register is set to ‘1’. If enabled an interrupt to the Host is generated.

5.4.4 FREEZE Command

In case the Host detects a severe error condition it can bring the CC into HALT state by asserting the FREEZE command. This can be done by writing CMD[3:0]=“0111” in the SUC Configuration Register 1. The FREEZE command triggers the entry of the HALT state immediately regardless of the actual POC state.

5.5 Communication Controller States

5.5.1 Communication Controller State Diagram

FIG. 9: Overall State Diagram of E-Ray Communication Controller

State transitions are controlled by externals pins eray_reset and eray_rxd1,2, the POC state machine, and by the CHI Command Vector CMD[3:0] located in the SUC Configuration Register 1.

TABLE 13 State transitions of E-Ray overall state machine T# Condition From To 1 Hardware reset HW Reset CONFIG 2 Unlock sequence followed by command CONFIG MONITOR_MODE MONITOR_MODE, CMD[3:0] = “1100” 3 Command CONFIG, CMD[3:0] = “0001” MONITOR_MODE CONFIG 4 Unlock sequence followed by command READY, CONFIG READY CMD[3:0] = “0010” 5 Command CONFIG, CMD[3:0] = “0001” READY CONFIG 6 Command WAKEUP, CMD[3:0] = “0011” READY WAKEUP 7 Complete, non-aborted transmission of wakeup pattern WAKEUP READY OR received WUS OR received frame header OR command READY, CMD[3:0] = “0010” 8 Command RUN, CMD[3:0] = “0100” READY STARTUP 9 Successful startup STARTUP NORMAL_ACTIVE 10 Clock Correction Failed counter reached Maximum NORMAL_ACTIVE NORMAL_PASSIVE Without Clock Correction Passive limit configured by WCP[3:0] 11 Number of valid correction terms reached the Passive NORMAL_PASSIVE NORMAL_ACTIVE to Active limit configured by PTA[4:0] 12 Command READY, CMD[3:0] = “0010” STARTUP, READY NORMAL_ACTIVE, NORMAL_PASSIVE 13 Clock Correction Failed counter reached Maximum NORMAL_ACTIVE HALT Without Clock Correction Fatal limit configured by WCF[3:0] 14 Clock Correction Failed counter reached Maximum NORMAL_PASSIVE HALT Without Clock Correction Fatal limit configured by WCF[3:0] 15 Command FREEZE, CMD[3:0] = “0111” All States HALT 16 Command CONFIG, CMD[3:0] = “0001” HALT CONFIG

5.5.2 CONFIG State

In CONFIG state, the CC is stopped. All configuration registers are accessible and the pins to the physical layer are in their inactive state. This state is used to initialize the CC configuration.

The CC enters this state

-   -   When leaving hardware reset (external reset signal eray_reset is         disasserted)     -   When exiting from MONITOR state, READY state, or HALT state

To leave CONFIG state, the Host has to perform the unlock sequence as described in section 4.3.3 Lock Register (LCK). Directly after unlocking the CONFIG state the Host has to write CMD[3:0] in the SUC Configuration Register 1 to enter the next state.

5.5.3 MONITOR State

After unlocking CONFIG state and writing CMD[3:0]=“1100” the CC enters MONITOR state. In this state the CC is able to receive FlexRay frames and CAS/MTS symbols. It is also able to detect coding errors. The temporal integrity of received frames is not checked. This state can be used for de-bugging purposes in case that startup of a FlexRay network fails. After writing CMD[3:0]=“0001” the CC transits back to CONFIG state.

5.5.4 READY State

After unlocking CONFIG state and writing CMD[3:0]=“0010” the CC enters READY state. From this state the CC can transit to WAKEUP state and perform a cluster wakeup or to STARTUP state to perform a coldstart or to integrate into a running communication.

The CC enters this state

-   -   When exiting from CONFIG, WAKEUP, STARTUP, NORMAL_ACTIVE, or         NORMAL_PASSIVE state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0010” (READY command).

The CC exits from this state

-   -   To CONFIG state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0001” (CONFIG command)     -   To WAKEUP state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0011” (WAKEUP command)     -   To STARTUP state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0100” (RUN command)

5.5.5 WAKEUP State

Any node entering STARTUP that has coldstart capability (Startup node with CSI=‘0’) has to assure that both channels attached have been awakened. Otherwise it cannot be ensured, that the cluster is awake (or at least that the wakeup has been triggered) before the node begins the startup procedure.

The minimum requirement for a cluster wakeup is that all bus drivers are supplied with power. A bus driver has the ability to wake up the other components of its node when it receives a wakeup symbol on its channel. At least one node in the cluster needs an external wakeup source.

FIG. 10: Structure of POC State WAKEUP

TABLE 14 State transitions WAKEUP T# Condition From To 1 Command WAKEUP, CMD[3:0] = “0011” READY WAKEUP_LISTEN 2 Wait for reception of WUS or frame header WAKEUP_LISTEN WAKEUP_LISTEN 3 Received WUS or frame header WAKEUP_LISTEN READY 4 Wakeup OR Wakeup Noise Timer expired AND WAKEUP_LISTEN WAKEUP_SEND wakeup channel selected by bit WUCS in the SUC Configuration Register 1 in idle state AND command WAKEUP, CMD[3:0] = “0011” 5 Complete, non-aborted transmission of wakeup pattern WAKEUP_SEND READY 6 Collision detected WAKEUP_SEND WAKEUP_DETECT 7 One of the following events triggers the transition to WAKEUP_DETECT READY READY state: Wakeup timer expired OR Wakeup symbol detected OR frame header received 8 Host commands change to READY state by command All wakeup states READY READY, CMD[3:0] = “0010”

The Host completely controls the wakeup procedure. It is informed about the state of the cluster by the bus driver and the CC and configures bus guardian (if available) and CC to perform the cluster wakeup. The CC provides the Host the ability to transmit a special wakeup pattern (wakeup symbol) on each of its available channels separately.

The wakeup may be performed on only one channel at a time. The CC ensures that ongoing communication on this channel is not disturbed. The CC cannot guarantee that all nodes connected to the configured channel awake because of the transmission of the wakeup pattern, since these nodes cannot give feedback until the startup phase.

Generally, the bus driver of the receiving node recognizes the wakeup pattern and triggers the node wakeup. The CC needs to recognize the wakeup pattern only during wakeup and startup phase

The wakeup procedure enables single-channel devices in a two-channel system to trigger the wakeup, by only transmitting the wakeup pattern on the single channel to which they are connected. Another (Startup) node then assumes the responsibility for waking the other channel.

The wakeup procedure tolerates any number of nodes simultaneously trying to wakeup a single channel and resolves this situation such that only one node transmits the pattern. Additionally the wakeup pattern is collision resilient, so even in the presence of a fault causing two nodes to simultaneously transmit a wakeup pattern, the resulting collided signal can still wake the other nodes.

Wakeup is recognized by the CC only during WAKEUP_LISTEN state. After wakeup the CC returns to READY state and signals the change of the wakeup status to the Host by setting bit WST in the Status Interrupt Register. The wakeup status vector WSV[2:0] can be read from the CC Status and Error Vector register. If a valid wakeup symbol was received also bit WUSA or WUSB in the Status Interrupt Register is set. After return from wakeup the Host has to configure the CC to enter STARTUP state.

The Host has to be aware of possible failures of the wakeup and act accordingly. It is advisable to delay any potential startup attempt of the node having instigated the wakeup by the minimal time it takes another Startup node to become awake and to be configured.

To avoid certain types of failures, a single CC should not awake both channels. Instead, two different CCs shall awake the two channels.

The WAKEUP_LISTEN state is controlled by two μT timers, the Wakeup timer and the Wakeup-Noise timer. The Wakeup timer enables a fast cluster wakeup in case of a noise free environment, while the WakeupNoise timer enables wakeup under more difficult conditions regarding noise interference.

5.5.5.1 Host Activities

The host must coordinate the BG and the CC wakeup modes. It must coordinate the wakeup of the two channels and must decide whether, or not, to wake a specific channel. The sending of the wakeup sequence is initiated by the Host and generated by the CC. The wakeup sequence is detected by the remote BD's and signalled to their local Hosts.

Wakeup Procedure Controlled by Host:

-   -   check local BD's if a WUS was received     -   command BG first channel to enter WAKEUP (if a BG is installed)     -   command CC to wakeup first channel         -   CC enters WAKEUP_LISTEN and wait for expiration of vdWakeup         -   CC enters WAKEUP_SEND and transmits the wakeup pattern         -   CC returns to READY state         -   CC signals status of wakeup try to Host     -   command BG first channel to leave wakeup (if a BG is installed)     -   repeat steps above to wake up second channel if required     -   set Coldstart Inhibit flag (CSI) and command CC to enter         INTEGRATION_LISTEN state     -   wait predefined time to allow the other nodes to wakeup and         configure themselves     -   reset Coldstart Inhibit flag (CSI) and command CC to enter         COLDSTART_LISTEN state

Wakeup Procedure Triggered by BD:

-   -   wakeup recognized by BD     -   BD triggers power-up of Host (if required)     -   BD signals wakeup event to Host     -   Host configures its local CC     -   if necessary Host commands wakeup of second channel and waits         predefined time to allow the other nodes to wakeup and configure         themselves     -   Host commands CC to enter STARTUP state

5.5.5.2 Wakeup Symbol (WUS)

The WUS is configured by the PRT Configuration Registers 1,2.

-   -   collision resilient for up to two sending nodes, two overlapping         wakeup symbols still recognizable     -   Tx-wakeup symbol is independent of transmission rate     -   configurable number of repetitions pWakeupPattern (2 . . . 63)     -   for wakeup at least two Tx-wakeup symbols needed     -   single channel wakeup, wakeup symbol may not be sent on both         channels at the same time     -   The gdWakeupSymbolTxIdle time is used to listen for activity on         the bus

The cluster wakeup must precede the communication startup in order to ensure that all mechanisms defined for the startup work properly. Startup is performed on all channels synchronously. During startup, a node may only transmit Startup frames.

It cannot be assumed that all nodes and stars need the same amount of time to become completely awake and to be configured. Since at least two nodes are necessary to start up the cluster communication, it is advisable to delay any potential startup attempt of the node having instigated the wakeup by the minimal amount of time it takes another Startup node to become awake, to be configured and to enter startup. It may require several hundred milliseconds (depending on the hardware used) before all nodes and stars are completely awakened and configured.

A fault-tolerant, distributed startup strategy is specified for initial synchronization of all nodes. In general, a node may enter NORMAL_ACTIVE state via the coldstart path initiating the schedule synchronization, or via the integration path integrating into an existing communication schedule.

A coldstart attempt begins with the transmission of a collision avoidance symbol (CAS). Only a Startup node that had transmitted the CAS transmits frames in the first four cycles after the CAS, it is then joined firstly by the other Startup nodes and afterwards by all other nodes.

Each startup frame must also be a Sync frame; therefore each Startup node will also be a Sync node. The number of coldstart attempts is configured by CSA[4:0] in the SUC Configuration Register 1.

In each cluster, at least two nodes must be configured to be Startup nodes. While more than three nodes may be configured to be Startup nodes, the cluster will not benefit from certain properties of the startup algorithm. At least two fault-free Startup nodes are necessary for the cluster to start up.

A Startup node that actively starts the cluster is also called a ‘leading Startup node’. A Startup node that integrates upon another Startup node is also called a ‘following Startup node’.

A Non-startup node requires at least two startup frames from distinct nodes for integration.

Both Non-startup nodes and Startup nodes start passive integration via the integration path as soon as they receive Sync frames from which to derive the TDMA schedule information. During integration the node has to adapt its own clock to the global clock (rate and offset) and has to make its cycle time consistent with the global schedule observable at the network. Afterwards, these settings are checked for consistency with all available network nodes. The node can only leave the integration phase and actively participate in communication when these checks are passed.

FIG. 12: State Diagram Time-Triggered Startup

5.5.6.1 ColdStart-Inhibit Mode

In coldstart inhibit mode the node is prevented from initializing the TDMA communication schedule. If the Host has set bit CSI in the SUC Configuration Register 1, the node is not allowed to initialize the cluster communication, i.e. entering the coldstart path is prohibited. The node is allowed to integrate to a running cluster or to transmit Startup frames after another Startup node started the initialization of the cluster communication.

The coldstart inhibit bit CSI can be set in the CONFIG or READY state only. CSI cannot be set after leaving READY state, but can be cleared at any time.

5.5.6.2 Startup Timeouts

The CC maintains two different μT timers supporting two timeout values, Startup timeout and StartupNoise timeout. The two timers are reset when the CC enters the COLDSTART_LISTEN state. The expiration of either of these timers causes the node to leave the initial sensing phase (COLDSTART_LIST-EN state) with the intention of starting up communication.

Note: The Startup and StartupNoise timers are identical with the Wakeup and WakeupNoise timers and use the same configuration values from the SUC Configuration Register 2.

Startup Timeout

The Startup timeout limits the listen time used by a node to determine if there is already communication between other nodes or at least one Startup node actively requesting the integration of others.

The Startup timer is configured by programming LT[20:0] (pdListenTimeout) in the SUC Configuration Register 2.

The Startup timer is reset upon:

-   -   entering the COLDSTART_LISTEN state     -   if communication channel activity is detected on one of the         configured channels while the node is in the COLDSTART_LISTEN         state     -   as long as the channel status of one of the configured channels         is active the timer is continuously reset. The timer resumes         counting once the channel idle state is reached for all channels         and the node is still in the COLDSTART_LISTEN state.

Once the Startup timeout expires, neither an overflow nor a cyclic restart of the timer is performed. The timer status is kept for further processing by the startup state machine.

StartupNoise Timeout

At the same time the Startup timer is started for the first time (transition from STARTUP_PREPARE state to COLDSTART_LISTEN state), the StartupNoise timer is started. This additional timeout is used to improve reliability of the startup procedure in the presence of noise.

The StartupNoise timer is configured by programming LTN[3:0] (gListenNoise) in the SUC Configuration Register 2.

The StartupNoise timer is reset upon

-   -   entering the COLDSTART_LISTEN state     -   reception of correctly decoded headers or CAS symbols while the         node is in COLDSTART_LISTEN state

Once the StartupNoise timeout expires, neither an overflow nor a cyclic restart of the timer is performed. The status is kept for further processing by the startup state machine.

Since the StartupNoise timer won't be reset if channel activity is sensed, this timeout defines the fallback solution that guarantees that a node will try to start up the communication cluster even in the presence of noise. On the other hand, by having defined reset conditions, the synchronization of the coldstart entry is still guaranteed.

5.5.6.3 Path of Startup Node Initiating Coldstart

When a Startup node enters COLDSTART_LISTEN, it listens to its attached channels and tries to receive FlexRay frames.

If no communication is detected, the node enters the COLDSTART_COLLISION_RESOLUTION state and commences a coldstart attempt. The initial transmission of a CAS symbol is succeeded by the first regular cycle. This cycle has the number zero.

From cycle zero on, the node transmits its Startup frame. Since each Startup node is allowed to perform a coldstart attempt, it may occur that several nodes simultaneously transmit the CAS symbol and enter the coldstart path. This situation is resolved during the first four cycles after CAS transmission.

As soon as a node that initiates a coldstart attempt receives a CAS symbol or a frame header during these four cycles, it reenters the COLDSTART_LISTEN state. Thereby, only one node remains in this path. In cycle four, other Startup nodes begin to transmit their startup frames.

After four cycles in COLDSTART_COLLISION_RESOLUTION state, the node that initiated the coldstart enters the COLDSTART_CONSISTENCY_CHECK state. It collects all startup frames from cycle four and five and performs the clock correction. If the clock correction does not deliver any errors and it has received at least one valid startup frame pair, the node leaves COLDSTART_CONSISTENCY_CHECK and enters NORMAL_ACTIVE state.

The number of coldstart attempts that a node is allowed to perform is configured by CSA[4:0] in the SUC Configuration Register 1. The number of remaining attempts is reduced by one for each attempted coldstart. A node may enter the COLDSTART_LISTEN state only if this variable is larger than one and it may enter the COLDSTART_COLLISION_RESOLUTION state only if this variable is larger than zero. A value larger than one is required for entering the COLDSTART_LISTEN state, since one coldstart attempt may be used up for performing the collision resolution, in which case the coldstart attempt could fail.

5.5.6.4 Path of Startup Node Integrating

When a Startup node enters the COLDSTART_LISTEN state, it tries to receive a valid pair of Startup frames to derive its schedule and clock correction from it.

As soon as a valid Startup frame has been received the INITIALIZE_SCHEDULE state is entered. If the clock synchronization can successfully receive a matching second valid Startup frame and derive a schedule from this, the INTEGRATION_COLDSTART_CHECK state is entered.

In INTEGRATION_COLDSTART_CHECK state it is assured that the clock correction can be performed correctly and that the Startup node from which this node has initialized its schedule is still available. During the first double-cycle in this state, either two valid Startup frame pairs or the Startup frame pair of the node that this node has integrated on must be received. If at the end of the first double-cycle in this state the integration attempt has not been aborted, the COLDSTART_JOIN state is entered.

In COLDSTART_JOIN state integrating Startup nodes begin to transmit their own Startup frames. Thereby the node that initiated the coldstart and the nodes joining it can check if their schedules agree to each other. If for the following three cycles the clock correction does not signal errors and at least one other Startup node is visible, the node leaves COLDSTART_JOIN state and enters NORMAL_ACTIVE state. Thereby it leaves STARTUP at least one cycle after the node that initiated the coldstart.

5.5.6.5 Path of Non-Startup Node Integrating

When a Non-startup node enters the INTEGRATION_LISTEN state, it listens to its attached channels and tries to receive FlexRay frames.

As soon as a valid Startup frame has been received the INITIALIZE_SCHEDULE state is entered. If the clock synchronization can successfully receive a matching second valid Startup frame and derive a schedule from this, the INTEGRATION_CONSISTENCY_CHECK state is entered.

In INTEGRATION_CONSISTENCY_CHECK state it is verified that the clock correction can be performed correctly and that enough Startup nodes (at least 2) send startup frames that agree to the nodes own schedule. After receiving valid Startup frame pairs for two consecutive double-cycles from at least two Startup nodes, the node leaves INTEGRATION_CONSISTENCY_CHECK state and enters NORMAL_ACTIVE state or NORMAL_PASSIVE state. Thereby, it leaves STARTUP at least two cycles after the node that initiated the coldstart. That means that all nodes of the cluster can leave STARTUP at the end of cycle 7, just before entering cycle 8.

5.5.7 NORMAL_ACTIVE State

As soon as the node that transmitted the first CAS symbol (resolving the potential access conflict and entering STARTUP via coldstart path) and one additional node have entered the NORMAL_ACTIVE state, the startup phase for the cluster has finished. In the NORMAL_ACTIVE state, all configured messages are scheduled for transmission. This includes all data frames as well as the Sync frames. Rate and offset measurement is started in all even cycles (even/odd cycle pairs required).

In NORMAL_ACTIVE state the CC supports regular communication functions

-   -   The CC performs transmissions and reception on the FlexRay bus         as configured     -   Clock synchronization is running     -   The Host Interface is operational

The CC exits from that state

-   -   To the HALT state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0110” (HALT command)     -   To the HALT state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0111” (FREEZE command)     -   To HALT state due to change of the error state from ACTIVE to         COMM_HALT     -   To NORMAL_PASSIVE state due to change of the error state from         ACTIVE to PASSIVE     -   To READY state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0010” (READY command)

5.5.8 NORMAL_PASSIVE State

NORMAL_PASSIVE state is entered from NORMAL_ACTIVE state when the error state changes from ACTIVE (green) to PASSIVE (yellow).

In NORMAL_PASSIVE state, the node is able to receive all frames (node is fully synchronized and performs the clock synchronization). In comparison to the NORMAL_ACTIVE state the node does not actively participate in communication, i.e. neither symbols nor frames are transmitted.

In NORMAL_PASSIVE state

-   -   The CC performs reception on the FlexRay bus if configured     -   The CC does not transmit any frames on the FlexRay bus     -   Clock synchronization is running     -   The Host interface is operational

The CC exits from this state

-   -   To the HALT state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0110” (HALT command)     -   To the HALT state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0111” (FREEZE command)     -   To HALT state due to change of the error state from ACTIVE or         PASSIVE to COMM_HALT     -   To NORMAL_ACTIVE state due to change of the error state from         PASSIVE to ACTIVE. The transition takes place when PTAC[4:0]         from the CC Status and Error Vector register equals PTA[4:0] as         defined in the SUC Configuration Register 1.     -   To READY state by writing CMD[3:0]=“0010” (READY command)

5.5.9 HALT State

When the Host writes CMD[3:0]=“0110” (HALT command) in the SUC Configuration Register to ‘1’, the CC enters HALT state after the current communication cycle has finished.

When the Host writes CMD[3:0]=“0111” (FREEZE command) in the SUC Configuration Register to ‘1’, the CC enters HALT state immediately and sets the FSI bit in the CC Status and Error Vector register.

In this state all communication (reception and transmission) is stopped and the Host is allowed to bring the CC into a power saving mode by halting all internal clocks.

When the CC transits from HALT state to CONFIG state all configuration and status data is maintained for analyzing purposes. Before leaving CONFIG state the Host has to restore a fault-free configuration. All internal counters and the CC status flags are reset when the CC transits from CONFIG to READY state.

Note: Status data stored in the Message RAM is not affected by a hardware reset or by the transition of the POC from CONFIG to READY state.

5.6 Network Management

The Network Management (NM) vector is located in the Network Management Register 1 . . . 3. The CC performs a logical OR operation over all NM vectors out of all received valid NM frames with the NM Indication Bit set. The CC updates the NM vector at the end of each cycle.

The length of the NM vector can be configured from 0 to 12 bytes by NML[3:0] in the NEM Configuration Register. The NM vector length must be configured identically in all nodes of a cluster.

To configure a transmit buffer to send FlexRay frames with the NM Indication Bit set, the NME bit in the header section of the respective transmit buffer has to be set. In addition the Host has to write the NM information to the data section of the transmit buffer.

The evaluation of the NM vector has to be done by the application running on the Host.

5.7 Filtering and Masking

Frame filtering is done by checking specific fields in a valid frame against corresponding configuration constants of the valid message buffers. A frame is only processed further if the required matches occur. Otherwise, it is discarded.

Frames are filtered on the following frame fields:

-   -   Channel ID     -   Frame ID     -   Cycle Counter

5.7.1 Filtering Mechanisms

The filtering mechanisms described below are applied differently for receive buffers, FIFO buffers, and transmit buffers.

Receive Buffers, FIFO Buffers

The following filter combinations for acceptance filtering are allowed:

-   -   Frame ID+Channel ID     -   Frame ID+Channel ID+Cycle Counter

Cycle Counter filtering is controlled by bit CF in the SUC Configuration Register 1:

-   -   CF=‘0’: Cycle Counter filtering disabled, default     -   CF=‘1’: Cycle Counter filtering enabled

The CF bit must be configured identically for all nodes in a cluster.

In order to store a received message all configured filters must match.

Transmit Buffers

The following filter combinations are allowed:

-   -   Frame ID+Channel ID     -   Frame ID+Channel ID+Cycle Counter

A message will be transmitted in the time slot corresponding to the configured frame ID on the configured channel(s). If cycle counter filtering is enabled the configured cycle filter value must also match. If cycle counter filtering is disabled there must be no transmit buffers with the same frame ID configured.

5.7.2 Channel ID Filtering

There is a 2-bit channel filtering field (CHA, CHB) located in the header section of each message buffer in the Message RAM. It serves as a filter for receive buffers, and as a control field for transmit buffers (see table 15).

Receive Buffers

Valid received frames are stored if they are received on the channels specified in the channel filtering field. In static segment only one receive buffer has to be setup for reception on both channels (CHA and CHB set). Other filtering criteria must also be met. If a received frame was accepted and stored in a receive buffer, the respective New Data flag in the New Data Register is set (ND=‘1’). In addition the RXI flag in the Status Interrupt Register is set to ‘1’, and an interrupt is generated if enabled.

Transmit Buffers

The content of the buffer is transmitted only on the channels specified in the channel filtering field when the cycle counter filtering and frame ID filtering criteria are also met. In static segment only one transmit buffer has to be setup for transmission on both channels (CHA and CHB set). In addition the TXI flag in the Status Interrupt Register is set to ‘1’, and an interrupt is generated if enabled.

TABLE 15 Channel filtering configuration Transmit Buffer Receive Buffer CHA CHB transmit frame store valid receive frame 1 1 on both channels received on channel A or B (static segment only) (static segment only, pick first valid) 1 0 on channel A received on channel A 0 1 on channel B received on channel B 0 0 no transmission ignore frame

5.7.3 Frame ID Filtering

Every transmit and dedicated receive buffer contains a frame ID stored in the header section. This frame ID is used differently for receive and transmit buffers.

Receive Buffers

A received message is stored in the first receive buffer where the received frame ID matches the configured frame ID, provided channel ID and cycle counter criteria are also met.

Transmit Buffers

For transmit buffers the configured frame ID is used to determine the appropriate slot for message transmission. The frame will be transmitted in the time slot corresponding to the configured frame ID, provided channel ID and cycle counter criteria are also met.

5.7.4 Cycle Counter Filtering

Cycle counter filtering is based on the notion of a cycle set. For filtering purposes, a match is detected if any one of the elements of the cycle set is matched. The cycle set is defined by the cycle code field in the header section of each message buffer.

The set of cycle numbers belonging to a cycle set is determined as described in table 16.

TABLE 16 Definition of cycle set Cycle Code Matching Cycle Counter Values 0b000000x all Cycles 0b000001c every second Cycle at (Cycle Count)mod2 = c 0b00001cc every fourth Cycle at (Cycle Count)mod4 = cc 0b0001ccc every eighth Cycle at (Cycle Count)mod8 = ccc 0b001cccc every sixteenth Cycle at (Cycle Count)mod16 = cccc 0b01ccccc every thirty-second Cycle at (Cycle Count)mod32 = ccccc 0b1cccccc every sixty-fourth Cycle at (Cycle Count)mod64 = cccccc

Table 17 below gives some examples for valid cycle sets to be used for cycle counter filtering:

TABLE 17 Examples for valid cycle sets Cycle Code Matching Cycle Counter Values 0b0000011 1-3-5-7- . . . -63

0b0000100 0-4-8-12- . . . -60

0b0001110 6-14-22-30- . . . -62

0b0011000 8-24-40-56

0b0100011 3-35

0b1001001 9

Receive Buffers

The received message is stored only if the received cycle counter matches an element of the receive buffer's cycle set. Channel ID and frame ID criteria must also be met.

Transmit Buffers

The content of the buffer is transmitted on the configured channels when an element of the cycle set matches the current cycle counter value and the frame ID matches the slot counter value.

5.7.5 FIFO Filtering

For FIFO filtering there is one Rejection Filter and one Rejection Filter Mask available. The FIFO Rejection Filter consists of 20 bits for Channel (2 bits), Frame ID (11 bits), and Cycle Code (7 bits). Both registers can be configured in CONFIG state only. The filter configuration in the header sections of the message buffers belonging to the FIFO buffer is ignored.

A valid received frame is stored in the next free FIFO buffer if channel ID, frame ID, and cycle counter are not rejected by the configured Rejection Filter and Rejection Filter Mask, and if there is no matching dedicated receive buffer.

5.8 Transmit Process

5.8.1 Transmit Buffers

A part of the message buffers can be configured as transmit buffers by programming bit CFG in the header section of the respective message buffer to ‘1’. This can be done via the Write Header Section 1 register.

There exist the following possibilities for transmission of a message buffer:

-   -   Static segment: channel A or channel B, channel A and channel B     -   Dynamic segment: channel A or channel B

The message buffer that holds the frame ID configured by SFID[9:0] in the Message Handler Configuration Register 2 is dedicated to hold the Startup/Sync frame if the node is a Startup/Sync node (as configured by TXST and TXSY in the SUC Configuration Register 1). It can be reconfigured only in CONFIG state. This ensures that any node transmits at most one Startup/Sync frame per communication cycle. Transmission of Startup/Sync frames from other message buffers is not possible. For Startup/Sync frames, the Sync Bit, Startup Frame Indicator, Sync Frame ID, Payload Length and the corresponding Header CRC can be changed only in CONFIG state.

It is not allowed to configure two or more Transmit Buffers with the same frame ID and cycle counter filter value.

For transmit frames in the dynamic segment reconfigurable message buffers can be used. Frame ID, cycle filter, channel filter, and Header CRC are reconfigurable during runtime. Due to the organization of the data section in the Message RAM (reference by data pointer), the Payload Length may only be shortened with respect to the value configured in CONFIG state.

The CC does not have the capability to calculate the Header CRC. The Host is supposed to provide the Header CRC's for all transmitted frames. If network management is required the Host has to set the NME bit in the header section of the respective message buffer to ‘1’. This can be done via the Write Header Section 1 register.

The length field in all messages (static and dynamic) reflects the frame payload data length as defined in the FlexRay frame format. The CC may use transmit buffer structures shorter than the actual configured data frame length in the static segment. In this case, the CC generates padding bytes to ensure that frames have proper physical length. The padding pattern is logical zero. The padding function applies only to frames to be transmitted in the static segment.

Each transmit buffer provides a Transmission Mode flag TXM that allows the Host to configure the transmission mode for the transmit buffer in the static segment. If this bit is set, the transmitter operates in the single-shot mode. If this bit is cleared, the transmitter operates in the continuous mode.

The Host CPU explicitly sets the Transmission Request flag TXR when a transmit buffer has been updated and is ready for transmission. In single-shot mode the CC resets the TXR flag after transmission has been completed. Now the Host may update the transmit buffer with the next message. The CC does not transmit the message out of the transmit buffer before the Host has indicated that the update is completed by setting the Transmission Request flag TXR again. The Host CPU can check the actual state of the TXR flags of all message buffers by reading the Transmission Request Registers.

5.8.2 Null Frame Transmission

If a message buffer is configured in “single-shot mode”, the configured frame is sent out by the transmitter only once after the Host has set the Transmission Request flag TXR. After transmission the TXR flag is reset by the CC. If in static segment the Host does not set the Transmission Request flag before transmit time and if there is no other Transmit Buffer with matching Frame ID and cycle counter filter, the CC transmits a Null Frame with the Null Frame Indication bit set and the payload data set to zero.

If a message buffer is configured in the “continuous mode”, the CC does not reset the Transmission Request flag TXR after transmission. If the Transmission Request flag is set, the frame is sent out each time the frame ID and cycle counter filter match. If in static segment the Host clears the Transmission Request flag, the CC transmits a Null Frame with the Null Frame Indication bit set and the payload data zero in the respective slot.

In the following cases the CC transmits a Null Frame with the Null Frame Indication bit set, and the rest of the frame header and the frame length unchanged:

-   -   all Transmit Buffers configured for the slot having cycle         filters that do not match the current cycle     -   there are matching frame IDs and cycle counters, but none of         these transmit buffers have the Transmission Request flag TXR         set

Null Frames are not transmitted in the dynamic segment.

5.8.3 Static Segment

For the static segment, if there are several messages pending for transmission, the message with the frame ID corresponding to the next sending slot is selected for transmission. The data section of transmit buffers assigned to the static segment can be updated until one slot before the sending slot of the buffer.

5.8.4 Dynamic Segment

In the dynamic segment, if several messages are pending, the message with the highest priority (lowest frame ID) is selected next. Only frame IDs which are higher than the largest static frame ID are allowed for the dynamic segment.

In the dynamic segment different minislot sequences are possible (concurrent sending of different frame IDs on both channels). Therefore pending messages are selected according to their frame ID and their channel configuration bit.

The Start of Latest Transmit configured by SLT[12:0] in the MHD Configuration Register 1 defines the maximum minislot value allowed before inhibiting new flame transmission in the dynamic segment of the cycle.

The frame IDs of all active transmit buffers (TXR=‘1’) are unchangeable until these buffers have been transmitted (TXR=‘0’). This will prevent the changing of a message buffer's frame ID while it is waiting to be transmitted. After successful transmission the Transmit Interrupt flag in the Status Interrupt Register is set (TXI=‘1’).

5.8.5 Frame Transmission

To prepare a transmit buffer for transmission the following steps are required:

-   -   Configure the message buffer as transmit buffer by writing a ‘1’         to the CFG bit in the Write Header Section 1 register     -   Write transmit message (header and data section) to the Input         Buffer.     -   To transfer a transmit message from Input Buffer to the Message         RAM proceed as described in section 5.11.1.1 Data Transfer Input         Buffet->Message RAM.     -   If configured in the Input Buffer Command Mask register the         Transmission Request flag for the respective message buffer will         be set as soon as the transfer has completed, and the message         buffer is ready for transmission.     -   Check whether the message buffer has been transmitted by         checking the TXR bits (TXR ‘0’) in the Transmission Request         Register 1,2

-   Note: (Re)configuration of the header section for static message     buffers is only allowed in CONFIG state.

5.9 Receive Process

5.9.1 Receive Buffers

A portion of the E-Ray message buffers can be configured as dedicated receive buffers by programming bit CFG in the header section of the respective message buffer to ‘0’.

There exist the following possibilities to assign a receive buffer to the CC channels:

-   -   Static segment: channel A or channel B, channel A and channel B         (pick first valid)     -   Dynamic segment: channel A or channel B

The CC transfers only valid received messages from the shift registers of the FlexRay protocol controllers (channel A or B) to the dedicated receive buffer with the matching filter configuration. A receive buffer is able to store all frame elements except the frame CRC. The payload length information presented to the Host reflects the length updated from the received payload length code.

If no frame or a corrupted frame is received in a slot, the message buffer contents prior to the reception is maintained. The flags in the Message Buffer Status register signal the cause of the problem.

The New Data flag ND in the New Data Register 1,2 indicates that the CC has updated the respective receive buffer since the last read (ND=‘1’). When the received message is transferred from the Message RAM to the Output Buffer, the New Data flag is cleared (ND=‘0’) by the Message Handler.

The Host does not have write access to the configuration data of static receive buffers stored in the header section of the message buffer in NORMAL_ACTIVE or NORMAL_PASSIVE operation state. The Host has write access to the header section of static receive buffers only in CONFIG state.

5.9.2 Null Frame Reception

The payload of a received Null Frame is not copied into the matching receive buffer. The reception of a Null Frame is indicated by the Null Frame Indication bit NFI=‘0’ in the header section 3 of the respective message buffer.

5.9.3 Frame Reception

To prepare or change a message buffer for reception the following steps in CONFIG state are required (dynamic receive buffers may also be (re)configured in NORMAL_ACTIVE or NORMAL_PASSIVE state):

-   -   Configure the message buffer as receive buffer by writing a ‘0’         to the CFG bit in the Write Header Section 1 register     -   Configure the receive buffer by writing the configuration         (header section) data to the Input Buffer     -   Transfer the configuration from Input Buffer to the Message RAM         by writing the number of the target message buffer to the Input         Buffer Command Request register.

Once these steps are performed, the message buffer functions as an active receive buffer and participates in the internal matching process, which takes place every time the CC receives a valid message. The received message is stored into the first matching receive buffer. If the buffer holds an unprocessed message (ND=‘1’) it is overwritten with the new message and the MLST bit in the respective Message Buffer Status register is set.

The respective New Data flag ND in the New Data Register 1,2 is set every time the buffer is updated and, if enabled, a receive interrupt is generated.

To read a receive buffer from the Message RAM via the Output Buffer proceed as described in section 5.11.1.2 Data Transfer Message RAM->Output Buffer.

-   Note: The ND flag will automatically be cleared by the Message     Handler when the received message has been transferred to the Output     Buffer.

5.10 FIFO Buffer Function

5.10.1 Description

A group of the message buffers can be configured as a cyclic First-In-First-Out (FIFO) buffer. The group of FIFO buffers is contiguous in the register map starting with the message buffer referenced by FFB[6:0] and ending with the message buffer referenced by LCB[6:0] in the Message RAM Configuration register. Between 2 and 64 message buffers can be assigned to the FIFO buffer system.

Every valid incoming message not matching with any dedicated receive buffer but matching the programmable FIFO filter is stored into the FIFO buffer system. In this case frame ID, payload length, receive cycle count, and the status bits of the addressed FIFO buffer are overwritten with frame ID, payload length, receive cycle count, and the status from the received message and can be read by the Host for message identification. Bit RFNE in the Interrupt Status Register shows that the FIFO buffer system is not empty, bit RFO in the Interrupt Status Register shows that a FIFO buffer system overrun has been detected. If enabled, interrupts are generated.

There are two index registers associated with the FIFO buffer system. The PUT Index Register (PIDX) is an index to the next available location in the FIFO buffer system. When a new message has been received it is written into the message buffer addressed by the PIDX register. The PIDX register is then incremented and addresses the next available message buffer. If the PIDX register is incremented past the highest numbered FIFO buffer the PIDX register is loaded with the number of the first (lowest numbered) message buffer in the FIFO chain. The GET Index Register (GIDX) is used to address the next FIFO buffer to be read. The GIDX register is incremented after transfer of the contents of a FIFO buffer to the Output Buffer.

The FIFO buffer system is completely filled when the PUT index (PIDX) reaches the value of the GET index (GIDX). When the next message is written to the FIFO buffer before the oldest message has been read, both PUT index and GET index are incremented and the new message overwrites the oldest message in the FIFO buffer. This will set FIFO buffer overrun flag RFO in the Status Interrupt Register.

FIG. 13: FIFO Buffer Status: Empty, not Empty, Overrun

A FIFO buffer non empty status is detected when the PUT index (PIDX) differs from the GET index (GIDX). In this case flag RFNE is set. This indicates that there is at least one received message in the FIFO buffer system. The PUT Index Register and the GET Index Register are not accessible by the Host CPU. The FIFO buffer empty, FIFO buffer not empty, and the FIFO buffer overrun states are explained in FIG. 13 for a three buffer FIFO buffer system.

There is a programmable FIFO Rejection Filter for the FIFO buffer system. The FIFO Rejection Filter Register (FRF) defines a filter pattern for messages to be rejected. The FIFO Rejection Filter consists of channel filter, frame ID filter, and cycle filter. If bit RSS is set to ‘1’ (default), all message received in the static segment are rejected by the FIFO buffer system. The FIFO Rejection Filter Mask Register (FRFM) specifies which of the corresponding bits in the FIFO Rejection Filter are marked ‘don't care’ for rejection filtering.

5.10.2 Configuration of the FIFO Buffer

For all message buffers belonging to the FIFO buffer system the Data Pointer to the first 32-bit word of the data section of the respective message buffer in the Message RAM has to be configured via the Write Header Section 3 register. All information required for acceptance filtering is taken from the FIFO Rejection Filter and the FIFO Rejection Filter Mask and needs not be configured in the header sections of the message buffers belonging to the FIFO buffer.

When programming the data pointers for the message buffers belonging to the FIFO buffer system the payload length of all message buffers has to be programmed to the value defined by DLF[6:0] in the Message RAM Configuration register.

Note: If the payload length of a received frame is longer than the value programmed by DLF[6:0] the data field stored in a message buffer of the FIFO Buffer system is truncated to that length.

5.10.3 Access to the FIFO Buffer

To read from the FIFO buffer system the Host has to trigger a transfer from the Message RAM to the Output Buffer by writing the number of the first message buffer of the FIFO Buffer (referenced by FFB[6:0]) to the Output Buffer Command Request register. The Message Handler then transfers the message buffer addressed by the GET Index Register (GIDX) to the Output Buffer. After this transfer the GET Index Register (GIDX) is incremented.

5.11 Message Handling

The Message Handler controls data transfers between the Input/Output Buffer and the Message RAM and between the Message RAM and the two Transient Buffer RAMs. All accesses to the internal RAM's are 32+1 bit accesses.

Access to the message buffers stored in the Message RAM is done under control of the Message Handler state machine. This avoids conflicts between accesses of the two protocol controllers and the Host CPU to the Message RAM.

The message buffers assigned to the static segment have to be configured in that way that message buffer 0 is configured with the lowest frame ID while the last message buffer configured for the static segment holds the highest frame ID. The frame IDs in between have to be ordered in an ascending sequence.

Frame IDs of message buffers assigned to the static segment have to be in the range from 1 to NSS[9:0] as configured in the GTU Configuration Register 7. Frame IDs of message buffers assigned to the dynamic segment have to be in the range from NSS[9:0]+1 to 2047.

In case the Message Handler detects a mismatch between message buffer number and the sequence of the configured frame IDs (message buffer holds frame ID with lower number than previous message buffer) for a static message buffer, or that a frame ID belonging to the static segment is assigned to a dynamic message buffer, or a frame ID from the dynamic segment is assigned to a static message buffer, the Message Handler will set the Slot Configuration Error flag SCE in the Error Interrupt Register. This will generate an error interrupt if enabled.

Received messages with no matching dedicated receive buffer (static or dynamic segment) are stored in the Receive FIFO (if configured) if they pass the FIFO rejection filter.

In RAM Test Mode the Message Handler is bypassed and all internal RAM blocks can directly be accessed via the Host interface (see section 4.3 Special Registers).

5.11.1 Input/Output Buffer<->Message RAM

The message transfer between Input Buffer and Message RAM as well as between Message RAM and Output Buffer is triggered by the Host CPU by writing the number of the target/source message buffer to be accessed to the Input or Output Buffer Command Request register.

The Input/Output Buffer Command Mask registers can be used to write/read header and data section of the selected message buffer separately thereby reducing the time for data transfers between Input/Output Buffer and Message RAM. If bit STXR in the Input Buffer Command Mask register is set (STXR=‘1’), the transmission request flag of the selected message buffer is automatically set after the message buffer has been updated.

The Input Buffer and the Output Buffer are build up as a double buffer structure. One half of this double buffer structure is accessible by the Host CPU, while the other half (shadow buffer) is accessed by the Message Handler for data transfers between Message RAM and Input/Output Buffer.

FIG. 14: CPU Access to Message Buffers

5.11.1.1 Data Transfer Input Buffer->Message RAM

When the Host writes the number of a target message buffer in the Message RAM to IBRH[5:0] in the Input Buffer Command Request register, IBF and IBF Shadow are swapped. In addition the message buffer numbers stored under IBRH[5:0] and IBRS[5:0] are also swapped (see FIG. 15).

FIG. 15: Double Buffer Structure Input Buffer

With this write operation the IBSYS bit in the Input Buffer Command Request register is set to ‘1’. The Message Handler then starts to transfer the contents of IBF Shadow to the message buffer in the Message RAM selected by IBRS[5:0].

While the Message Handler transfers the data from IBF Shadow to the target message buffer in the Message RAM, the Host may configure the next message in the IBF. After the transfer between IBF Shadow and the Message RAM has completed, the IBSYS bit is set back to ‘0’ and the next transfer to the Message RAM may be started by the Host by writing the respective target message buffer number to IBRH[5:0].

If a write access to IBRH[5:0] occurs while IBSYS is ‘1’, IBSYH is set to ‘1’. After completion of the ongoing data transfer from IBF Shadow to the Message RAM, IBF and IBF Shadow are swapped, IBSYH is reset to ‘0’, IBSYS remains set to ‘1’, and the next transfer to the Message RAM is started. In addition the message buffer numbers stored under IBRH[5:0] and IBRS[5:0] are also swapped

Example of a 8/16-Bit Host Access Sequence

-   -   Write 1st message to IBF         -   Request data transfer to target message buffer: write             IBRH[5:0]     -   Write 2nd message to IBF         -   Request data transfer to target message buffer: write             IBRH[5:0] after IBSYS is reset     -   Write 3rd message to IBF

5.11.1.2 Data Transfer Message RAM->Output Buffer

The message buffer selected by OBRS[5:0] in the Output Buffer Command Request register is transferred from the Message RAM to the Output Buffer Shadow as soon as the Host has set REQ to ‘1’. Bit REQ can only be set to ‘1’ while OBSYS is ‘0’.

FIG. 16: Double Buffer Structure Output Buffer

After setting REQ to ‘1’, OBSYS is set to ‘1’, and the transfer of the message buffer selected by OBRS[5:0] from the Message RAM to OBF Shadow is started. After the transfer between the Message RAM and OBF Shadow has completed, the OBSYS bit is set back to ‘0’.

By setting VIEW to ‘1’ while OBSYS is ‘0’, OBF and OBF Shadow are swapped. Now the Host can read the transferred message buffer from OBF while the Message Handler may transfer the next message from the Message RAM to OBF Shadow.

Example of a 8-bit Host access sequence:

-   -   Select 1st message buffer: write OBRS[5:0]     -   Request transfer of 1st message buffer: write REQ         -   Wait until OBSYS is reset     -   Select 2nd message buffer: write OBRS[5:0] (may also be set         while OBSYS=‘1’)     -   View 1st message and request transfer of 2nd message buffer:         write VIEW, REQ         -   Read out 1st message         -   Wait until OBSYS is reset     -   Select 3rd message buffer: write OBRS[5:0]     -   View 2nd message and request transfer of 3rd message buffer:         write VIEW, REQ         -   Read out 2nd message         -   Wait until OBSYS is reset     -   View n-th message: write VIEW         -   Read out n-th message             Example of a 16-bit Host access sequence:     -   Select and request transfer of 1st message buffer: write         OBRS[5:0], REQ         -   Wait until OBSYS is reset     -   View 1st message, select and request transfer of 2nd message         buffer:     -   write VIEW, REQ, OBRS[5:0]         -   Read out 1st message         -   Wait until OBSYS is reset     -   View 2nd message, select and request transfer of 3rd message         buffer:     -   write VIEW, REQ, OBRS[5:0]         -   Read out 2nd message         -   Wait until OBSYS is reset     -   View n-th message:     -   write VIEW (OBRS[5:0] not evaluated)         -   Read out n-th message

5.11.2 FlexRay Protocol Controllers<->Message RAM

The two Transient Buffer RAMs are used to buffer the data for transfer between the two FlexRay Protocol Controllers and the Message RAM.

Each Transient Buffer RAM is build up as a double buffer able to store two complete FlexRay messages. There is always one buffer assigned to the corresponding Protocol Controller while the other one is accessible by the Message Handler.

If e.g. the Message Handler writes the next message to be send to Transient Buffer β, the FlexRay Protocol Controller can access Transient Buffer α to store the message it is actually receiving. After reception has completed the Message Handler swaps the two buffers. Now the FlexRay Protocol Controller can load its shift register from Transient Buffer β and transmit the new message loaded by the Message Handler while the Message Handler has access to Transient Buffer α. During transmission of the message stored in Transient Buffer β the Message Handler transfers the last received message stored in Transient Buffer α to the Message RAM (if it passes acceptance filtering) and updates the respective message buffer.

Data transfers between the Transient Buffer RAMs and the shift registers of the FlexRay Protocol Controllers are done in portions of 32 bit. This enables the use of a 32 bit shift register independent of the length of the FlexRay messages.

5.12 Message RAM

To avoid conflicts between Host access to the Message RAM and FlexRay message reception/transmission, the Host CPU cannot directly access the message buffers in the Message RAM. These accesses are handled via the Input and Output Buffers. The Message RAM is able to store up to 64 message buffers.

The Message RAM is organized 1152×33=38,016 bit. Each 32-bit word is protected by a parity bit. To achieve the required flexibility with respect to different numbers of data bytes per FlexRay frame (0 . . . 254), the Message RAM has a structure as shown in FIG. 18.

FIG. 18: Structure of Message RAM

Header Section

Stores header segments of FlexRay frames:

-   -   supports a maximum of 64 message buffers     -   each message buffer has a header of four 32-bit words     -   1-bit pointer to data section

Data Section

Flexible storage of payload segments with different length. Some maximum values are:

-   -   16 message buffers with 254 byte data each     -   or 32 message buffers with 128 byte data each     -   or 64 message buffers with 56 byte data each         Restriction: header section+data section may not occupy more         than 1,152 32-bit words.

5.12.1 Header Section

The header of each message buffer occupies four 32-bit words in the header section of the Message RAM. The header of message buffer 0 starts with the first word in the Message RAM.

For transmit buffers the Header CRC has to be calculated by the Host CPU. The Data Pointer has to be calculated by the programmer to define the starting point of the data section for the respective message buffer in the data section of the Message RAM.

Receive Cycle Count, Received on Channel Indication (RCI), Startup Frame Indication bit (SFI), Sync bit (SYN), Null Frame Indication bit (NFI), Payload Preamble Indication bit (PPI), and Reserved bit (RES) are only updated from received valid frames.

The elements used for configuration of a message buffer are stored in the header section of the Message RAM as listed in table 20 below. For static message buffers and FIFO Buffers (re)configuration is possible in CONFIG state only.

Header 1

-   -   Frame ID—slot counter filtering configuration     -   Cycle Code—cycle counter filtering configuration     -   CHA, CHA—channel filtering configuration     -   CFG—message buffer configuration: receive/transmit     -   NME—Network Management/Message ID enable     -   TXM—transmit mode configuration: single-shot/continuos     -   MBI—message buffer receive/transmit interrupt enable

Header 2

-   -   Header CRC         -   Transmit Buffer: Updated by the Host (calculated from frame             header segment)         -   Receive Buffer: Updated from received frame     -   Payload Length Configured—length of data field (number of 2-byte         words) as configured by the Host     -   Payload Length Received—length of data field (number of 2-byte         words) from received frame

Header 3

-   -   Data Pointer—pointer to the beginning of the corresponding data         field in the data section

Only valid for receive buffers, updated from received frames:

-   -   Receive Cycle Count—cycle count for received frame     -   RCI—Received on Channel Indication     -   SFI—Startup frame indication bit     -   SYN—Sync frame indication bit     -   NFI—Null Frame indication bit     -   PPI—Payload Preamble Indicator     -   RES—Reserved Bit Status

Header 4

Transmit and Receive Buffers:

-   -   SEOA—Syntax Error observed on channel A     -   SEOB—Syntax Error observed on channel B     -   CEOA—Content Error observed on channel A     -   CEOB—Content Error observed on channel B     -   SVOA—Slot Boundary Violation observed on channel A     -   SVOB—Slot Boundary Violation observed on channel B     -   DCE—Data Consistency Error

Transmit Buffers:

-   -   TCIA—Transmission Conflict Indication channel A     -   TCIB—Transmission Conflict Indication channel B     -   VFRA—Valid Frame Received on channel A     -   VERB—Valid Frame Received on channel B

Receive Buffers:

-   -   PLE—Payload Length Error     -   MLST—Message Lost

5.12.2 Data Section

The data section of the Message RAM stores the data fields of the message buffers configured for reception/transmission as defined in the header section. The number of data bytes for each message buffer can vary from 0 to 254. To optimize the data transfer between the shift registers of the two FlexRay Protocol Controllers and the Message RAM as well as between the Host interface and the Message RAM, the physical width of the Message RAM is set to 4 bytes plus one parity bit.

The data field of message buffer 0 starts after the last word of the header section. The data fields of the configured message buffers are stored in the Message RAM as shown in table 21 below.

The begin of the data field attached to a message buffer configured in the header section is referenced by a pointer DP[10:0] to the start address in the Message RAM. This enables a flexible usage of the available RAM space for storage of message buffers with different data length. If a message buffer uses only 16 bit of a 32-bit data word, the remaining 16 bits are unused.

When configuring the message buffers in the Message RAM the programmer has to assure that the data section does not overwrite parts of the header section. The programmer also has to ensure that the data fields of the configured message buffers are located on different addresses in the Message RAM.

5.12.3 Parity Check

There is a parity checking mechanism implemented in the E-Ray module to assure the integrity of the data stored in the seven RAM blocks of the module. The RAM blocks have a parity generator/checker attached as shown in FIG. 19. When data is written to a RAM block, the local parity generator generates the parity bit. The E-Ray module uses an even parity (with an even number of one's in the 32-bit data word a zero parity bit is generated). The parity bit is stored together with the respective data word. The parity is checked each time a data word is read from any of the RAM blocks. The module internal data busses have a width of 32 bits.

If a parity error is detected, the respective error flag is set in the Message Handler Status register. There is one additional error flag located in the Error Interrupt Register that combines these single error flags.

FIG. 19 shows the data paths between the RAM blocks and the parity generators/checkers.

In case a parity error has been detected the following actions will be performed:

In all Cases

-   -   The respective parity error flag in the Message Handler Status         register is set     -   The parity error flag in the Error Interrupt Register is set,         and, if enabled the module interrupt to the CPU will be         generated.

Additionally in Specific Cases

Parity error in data transfer from Input Buffer RAM 1,2

Message RAM

-   -   DCE bit of the respective message buffer set     -   PIBF bit is set     -   FMB[5:0] indicates the number of the faulty message buffer     -   Transmission Request for the respective message buffer is not         set

Parity error during scan of header sections in Message RAM

-   -   DCE bit of the respective message buffer set     -   PMR bit is set     -   FMB[5:0] indicates the number of the faulty message buffer     -   skip message buffer

Parity error in data transfer from Message RAM

Transient Buffer RAM 1, 2

-   -   DCE bit of the respective message buffer set     -   PMR bit is set     -   FMB[5:0] indicates the number of the faulty message buffer     -   protocol controller sends a Null Frame

-   -   transmission of the corrupted message is stopped     -   PTBF1,2 bit is set

Parity error in data transfer from Transient Buffer RAM 1, 2

Message RAM

-   -   DCE bit of the respective message buffer set     -   PTBF1,2 bit is set     -   FMB[5:0] indicates the number of the faulty message buffer

Parity error in data transfer from Message RAM

Output Buffer RAM

-   -   DCE bit of the respective message buffer set     -   PMR bit is set     -   FMB[5:0] indicates the number of the faulty message buffer

Parity error in data transfer from Output Buffer RAM

Host CPU

-   -   POBF bit is set

The Data Consistency Error bit DCE is located in the Message Buffer Status and Error Information field of the respective message buffer, while the Parity Error bits (PIBF, POBF, PMR, PTBF1,2) and the Faulty Message Buffer indicator FMB[5:0] are located in the Message Handler Status register.

5.13 Module Interrupt

In general, interrupts provide a close link to the protocol timing as they are triggered almost immediately when an error is detected by the controller, a frame is received or transmitted, or a configured timer interrupt is activated This enables the Host to react very quickly on specific error conditions, timers and events. On the other hand too many interrupts can cause the Host to miss deadlines required for the application. Therefore the CC supports disable/enable controls for each individual interrupt, separately.

An interrupt may be triggered when

-   -   An error was detected     -   A status bit is set     -   A timer reaches a preconfigured value     -   A message transfer from Input Buffer to Message RAM or from         Message RAM to Output Buffer has completed

Tracking status and generating interrupts when a status change or an error occurs are two independent tasks. Regardless of whether an interrupt is enabled, or not, the corresponding status is tracked and indicated by the CC. The Host has access to the actual status and error information by reading the Error Interrupt Register and the Status Interrupt Register.

The interrupt lines to the Host, eray_int0 and eray_int1, are controlled by the enabled interrupts. In addition each of the two interrupt lines to the Host CPU can be enable/disabled separately by programming bit EINT0 and EINT1 in the Interrupt Line Enable register.

The two timer interrupts generated by interrupt timer 0 and 1 are available on pins eray_tint0 and eray_tint1. They can be configured via the Timer 0 and Timer 1 Configuration register.

The status of the data transfer between Input Buffer and Message RAM and between Message RAM and Output Buffer is signalled on pins eray_ibusy and eray_obusy.
